Is it possible to get Aux port connection on Mark Levinson (LX) (1 Viewer)

[Coupedncal]

There is one feature that I really miss is the ability to connect my iPhone to the factory stereo in the LX. I know the bluetooth is for phone only and does not support audio streaming. Is there any way to establish an Aux port connection?

Or alternatively, is there any other way to stream music from a smartphone?

I like mine. Makes the splash screen warning go away without clicking it too.

I have a vais and it has been pretty decent for the 3 or so years I’ve had it. I am installing a Vline this weekend though.

There are a number of options but most of them are not technically an “aux port”:

thats just my experience on a new dodge with oem bluetooth and beats audio, wanted to test fm transmitter there to compare audio and didn't notice difference. bluetooth is not an audiophile method of listening to music so i wasnt expecting vinyl quality. With a strong signal FM actually...

I originally did the VAIS SLB3B, but eventually went with the Grom VLine. In the early days, the VLine was pretty flaky, but at this point it’s pretty stable, and I mainly use it in “CarPlay” mode. I clip my phone into a “mount” and plug it in, (just like our two older 100 series with aftermarket stereos) use waze, and stream Spotify on the OE screen.

I used the GROM TOYOA1 unit and connected its Aux hook up to an Alexa Auto.

Now I have very clear bluetooth audio in my rig for about $125

I use the same grom adapter as @cdoglesby, but purchased the 3.5mm female adapter and mounted it in the center console. Looks and functions like a factory aux input jack.
